for 2 cups of coffee, the coffee making process stops automatically;
to determine yourself how much coffee you want to make, press the button once more when the required amount of coffee has been made. If you do not do this, the process stops automatically after 90 seconds. You will run the risk that your cup will overflow!
Attention:
After making coffee, the indicator lights may start to flash again to indicate that the appliance is pre-heating. When the lights remains on, you can continue making coffee. -
Coffee tastes best immediately after it has been made, so do not wait too long before serving. Tips:
We recommend slightly warming up an espresso cup prior to use, for instance by first placing it on the hot plate on top of the appliance. A pre-heated cup will prevent the espresso from cooling down too quickly.
In order to make a good espresso, we recommend pre-heating the appliance. This is done by first making a cup of espresso without adding coffee, as a result of which hot water flows through the appliance.
Warning:
Do not leave your coffee machine unsupervised when it is working, because of the manual actions you have to perform.

de-scaling
Regularly de-scale your coffee machine. The de-scaling intervals depend on
the hardness of the mains water and the frequency at which the coffee machine
is being used. We recommend de-scaling the coffee machine every 2-3 months.
Due to scaling, the heating element can become obstructed. This causes
overheating, as a result of which the coffee machine is switched off
automatically as a safety precaution and will no longer function. The coffee
machine will have to be repaired. You can de-scale the coffee machine with a
special de-scaling agent for coffee machines or with kitchen grade vinegar.
If you use a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines, you must observe
the instructions on the packaging of this agent.
When using kitchen grade vinegar, proceed as follows:
-
* Switch off the appliance by pressing the on/off button and remove any remaining water from the water reservoir.- Fill the water reservoir with clean, cold water and cold kitchen grade vinegar up to the MAX mark. The water and kitchen grade vinegar ratio should be 4:1. Place the filter holder with filter (without coffee) back in the appliance and place a cup on the cup grille.
- Check that the steam controller is switched off (turned upwards) and switch on the appliance.
- Press the manually adjustable coffee button when the indicator light next to the button remains on. Allow the water to flow until your cup is full. Press the button once more to stop the coffee making process and remove the water from the cup.
- Repeat step 5 once and then wait 5 seconds.
- Press the steam button ( ) and wait until the indicator light remains on. Make steam for 2 minutes by slowly turning the steam controller. Hold a cup under the steam pipe to collect any water that is released. Turn the steam controller upwards again and press the steam button once more to switch it off.
- Switch off the appliance. Wait for at least 15 minutes, as a result the scale will be softened and removed.
- Switch on the appliance again, wait until the indicator lights remain on and allow the appliance to run until the water reservoir is empty. The de-scaling process has been completed. Empty the cup and the removable leak tray to remove any water.
- After de-scaling, allow a full reservoir of cold water to flow through the appliance at least 3 times, to remove all de-scaling liquid and vinegar residues and thus prevent a sour taste in the coffee. Repeat all above-mentioned steps, only now do not add kitchen grade vinegar to the water. It is not necessary to wait 15 minutes at point 8.When the appliance has been used 500 times, the indicator lights will flash quickly for 5 times to indicate that the appliance should be de-scaled. When the appliance is not de-scaled, this will continue to happen. When the appliance is switched on and all indicator lights are lighting up, hold down buttons and for 3 seconds. The indicator lights at these buttons flash quickly for 3 times and the appliance starts to count from 0 again.
Attention!
If the coffee machine has not been used for some time, e.g. due to vacation, it is recommended to remove and clean all separate components. Then place the cleaned separate components back on their place and allow the coffee machine to make one run with clean water. In this way you will prevent a possible foreign taste.
